In the last day or two, Solitaire 3D may hang when attempting to access international scores. Full screen or windowed. I downloaded new copy - no difference, renamed old preference file, no difference. I now fail the Internet test, even though a) I'm obviously able to connect to this forum, b) has been working fine, posting international scores for months. ??It is possible that a Windows update did this - I had a bunch of them installed on 8/14

The same thing has happened to me, but from a later date and Windows update.

I've checked all my potential blockers such as my Trend Micro maximum logs without success, which leaves me to check the Windows Firewall and its logs.

Running Windows 7 Professional, though I have had no previous experience of this problem as the quoted poster appears to have had.

My last windows score updates on the Solitaire 3D " Intelligence" leader board I think were the 15th and 16th of October.

Plays and works OK on the local leader board though.

No similar problems with either the iPad or iPhone. I have yet to check the situation on my MacBook Pro.

Recently I uninstalled Solitaire, downloaded a new copy and managed to pass the Internet test. I still couldn't reach the Internet scores but a few days later, I did. Might be some timing issue between Solitaire and Live Mail...?

I have no problems getting Internet scores on my tablet - using the same router.

Checked my windows firewall log file last night, and it was a big one, looking for faulting with your IP address.

Nothing showed up with IPV4 addressing, so will check again with IPV6 addressing.

Still getting the "NOT RESPONDING" advice in the "ONLINE" mode, requiring a " control, alt, delete" access to the taskmaster to shut the non responding program down, before reactivating for further research.

So my next move is to check the windows management console for related event alerts, as well as using " Wire Shark" access to the IP traffic, and see if I can assist in identify the underlying cause.

I will notify if successful.

//Further again to previous.

With regard to the " INTELLIGENCE" leaderboard, there is only one US Windows participant that has lodged a score on the 17th October, all the remaining Windows scorers are lodged, at the latest on the 15th and 16th of October, which leads me to ID the probable cause of the problem to be the WINDOWS UPDATE of around that time, and also to suggest that the US participant lodging on the 17th, maybe does not update automatically, and had " thus" escaped the UPDATE impact.

The program Solitaire_DX9.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting withWindows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem isavailable, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel. Process ID: 1a2c Start Time: 01cfe9fc0102ff5e Termination Time: 47 Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Solitaire 3D\Solitaire_DX9.exe Report Id: 7a53445d-55ef-11e4-a65a-d02788597a53

//I have yet to check and research the problem history in " Action Center control panel", additionally, I will look at the suspect Windows updates to see if I can find the offending update, I hope this stuff helps.tmno2Terry

During last night's session on the WIN 7 platform, I achieved more sucessful score registrations on the " INTELLIGENCE" leaderboard.

This was achieved by playing in the LOCAL mode and when I had a score worth registering I hit the WORLD mode button and submitted the score, when the " your score Has been updated successfully" window appeared I switched back to the LOCAL mode and then checked the leaderboard on my iPad to view the result.

Each time success was achieved. I did NOT wait on the leaderboard update on the Win 7 platform, as it was the UPDATING action that seemed to be causing the HANGUP the topic of this discussion.

I'm sure that I have the " Update Automatically" set in the options area, and it appears that this could be the cause of recent faulting to NOT RESPONDING, when trying to update the scoreboard.

So tonight I will set the option to " Update Manually" and see what happens.

Changed to manual updating from automatic, without any real difference experienced.

Did the same stuff as previously outlined, and new scores were registered as verified on the iPad view.

So it gets back to the windows update stuff installing code that purportedly prevents your computer being accessed remotely. Now I expect correcting that situation while maintaining computer security, will take a bit of sorting out

Probably " SandBoxing" or similar, such as is used in browsers and OSX could be the answer.

There has to be a solution, otherwise, all online gaming would be completely stuffed!!!!
